Lord Dalhousie.<\/p>\n<p>The Doctrine of Lapse was a British policy in India, enacted under the administration of Lord Dalhousie as Governor-General from 1848 to 1856, as a way to expand the British Empire. The doctrine stated that if a princely Indian state fell under &#8220;lapse&#8221;, that is, if the ruler died without a male heir, the state would be annexed by the British East India Company.<\/p>\n<p>The doctrine was controversial, and was opposed by many Indian nationalists.
